Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy - MyACT

PiezoWave2 – MyACT is Acoustic Compression Therapy which uses acoustic mechanical sound waves to remodel tissue at the cellular level by addressing a large variety of conditions including, scar tissue, calcification, tendinopathy, bursitis, capsulations and so much more. It is a non-invasive, out-patient alternative to surgery for those with many joint and tendon disorders. .

How Does ESWT Work?

ESWT (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy) sends acoustic shock waves into bone or soft tissue, in effect re injuring the area on a cellular level and breaking up the scarring that has penetrated tendons and ligaments. The controlled re injuring of tissue allows the body to regenerate blood vessels and bone cells. The resulting revascularization leads to faster healing and often a return to pre-injury activity levels

Piezowave2 MyACT Focused Shockwave Therapy

Introducing EPAT/Shockwave Therapy, a non-surgical treatment option for patients with acute, subacute, and chronic pain in deep layers of soft tissue. This reparative solution kickstarts healing, reduces inflammation, breaks down scar tissue, improves mobility, and relieves pain, all without painkillers. Say goodbye to persistent pain!

What Is ESWT?

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

  • Tennis Elbow & Golfers Elbow

  • Calcific tendonitis of the shoulder & Frozen Shoulder

  • Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ Disorder/Pain)

  • Trigger point treatment

  • Greater Trochanteric pain syndrome

What Are The Benefits Of ESWT?

ESWT offers a plethora of benefits, particularly in the realm of physical therapy including:

  • ESWT is non-invasive

  • ESWT pinpoints and relieves musculoskeletal pain

  • ESWT enhances mobility

  • ESWT reduces reliance on pain medication

  • ESWT improves range of motion by eliminating adhesion

  • ESWT enhances circulation, alleviating pain and tension in muscles, and promoting healing

  • ESWT stimulates the formation of new vascular tissue

  • ESWT reduces arterial plaque buildup

Piezo Wave 2 machine

MyACT is not a new concept by any means. Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy has been used to help break up kidney stones and gallstones for more than 30 years. MyACT is the latest generation of this technology to be developed through scientific advances in medical research for the safe and often pain free treatment of many musculoskeletal, fascial, and vascular conditions.

 FAQs

  • The mechanical energy that myofascial acoustic compression therapy provides encourages and stimulates fibroblasts and growth factors to promote healing and increase cell metabolism and local blood flow to the affected area. The treatment is painless because these are pressure sound waves, not electric shocks. The good news is that PiezoWave Pain Treatment deeply penetrates tissue for healing that can’t be achieved through manual adjustments.

  • During every session, 1000 to 2000 pulse waves will be delivered to an area being treated lasting about ten minutes. You will see maximum benefits with five to six treatments per area with three to five days to allow for proper recovery time. PiezoWave Pain Treatment is believed, and has clinically proven, to have the following effects: • Facilitate healing

    • Eliminate pain

    • Stimulate the “washing away” of Substance-P (a pain-producing chemical)

    • Increase the body’s collagen production

    • Increase microcirculation leading to enhanced tissue metabolism

    • Help dissolve calcific fibroblasts

    • Reduce muscle tension

    • Improved function and range of motion to the joint

  • Each session of PiezoWave Pain Treatment takes about five to ten minutes. During the session, our therapist or staff will deliver 2000 to 3000 pulse waves into the affected area being treated. The delivery of about 2000 pulse waves lasts approximately five to ten minutes. You will need three to five treatments.

  • Depending on the patient’s current level of pain and the area of treatment, the degree of discomfort varies significantly. The intensity of a treatment session also varies, and many patients can tolerate treatment well because the intensity varies depending on patient tolerance.

  • Many patients experience immediate pain relief after PiezoWave Pain Treatment. However, they may experience soreness in the area within two to four hours. According to different clinical reports, the soreness is usually very tolerable and can last a couple of hours to some days.

    DO NOT use ice on the area if you experience this soreness. One of the desired effects of PiezoWave Pain Treatment is an “inflammatory response.” Therefore, the use of anti- inflammatory medications (such as Advil, Ibuprofen, Aleve, Motrin, etc.) isn’t recommended. Many patients report great results with Tylenol. You may take medication as you see fit or based on your doctor’s recommendation and advice. The soreness will disappear within 4 to 24 hours without any intervention.
